Iliopsoas tendonitis, which is also known as snapping hip syndrome or dancer’s hip, is when you feel a snapping sensation when you flex and extend your hip. These stretches and exercises should help. See Doctor Jo’s blog post about this at:
Iliopsoas tendonitis can cause pain and be very annoying.
The first stretch will be a quad stretch. Get into a lunge position. Place the knee of the quad you want to stretch on the ground, and take the opposite leg and bend it in front of you at a ninety-degree angle. You might want to place a pillow under your knee to protect it. Then grab the ankle of the side you want to stretch and pull it up towards your buttocks. Hold for 30 seconds, and do it 3 times.
Next, you can stay on your knees, and put the leg you want to stretch out in front of you for a hamstring stretch. Try to keep your knee straight and your hips forward. With your back straight, bend forward at your hips. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and do it three times.
Now you will sit on the ground with your knees propped up out in front of you. Take the leg of the side you want to stretch, and cross it over the other leg just above the knee. This will look like a figure 4 if you are looking down at your legs. You might feel the stretch already, but if you don’t, keeping your back straight, bend forward at your hips. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds, and repeat 3 times.
This stretch is a very intense stretch and will hurt for some people. For the IT band stretch, if you have a noodle or foam roll, lie on your side with the injured side down on the roll. Gently roll/pull your leg up and down from the hip to just past the knee. Start off with 30 seconds and work your way up to a minute.
Now you are going to get onto all fours or in the quadruped position. Try to keep your hands directly underneath your shoulders, and try to keep your back in a straight line, no arching up or down. You can do the exercises two different ways. First you can put your leg straight out behind you, and lift it up and down. You can also bend your knee with your foot facing the ceiling, and push your foot upwards.
Finally, roll over onto your side with the side you want to work on top. The top leg is going to stay straight and pull your toes up towards you. Keep your body in a straight line as well. Try not to let your leg come forward. Also, keep your hips up towards the ceiling, perpendicular to the ground. This is going to work your hip abductor muscles. Start off with 10 of these and work your way up to 20-25.

Felt my hip snapping post groin strain. When can I start? After recovery or during?
Also, lately I have started feeling minor tingling in my toes on the affected side. Is that a contraindication for these exercises?
Jo , my right hip groin pops lateral movement.. and my left thigh hip doesn’t but always tight only when stretched And I am sore when doing the right hip leg raise thing …..what’s happening,,
This is gonna sound weird, but I’m not sure what’s going on with my hip.
Whenever I squeeze my left Glute, I get a popping sensation in my hip. Is this considered snapping hip syndrome?
I don't like working out anymore because my hips always pop. The popping doesn't hurt but it's just really annoying
(subscriber here) I have the problem with my left hip and my lower back, but with stretching and exercising I'm kinda solving the problem. However, the biggest issue of mine is the lower abdomen area, left side more so than the right. I'm having that problem for almost 5 months now, sometimes it's not that bad so I can workout and get away with a small amount of pain and discomfort, but pretty often, especially if I work on my abs, it gets pretty inflamated, tender and painful. The difference in lower abdominal muscles are even palpable (left one is a bit firmer and larger, like there's something beneath) so it was firstly diagnosed as lower abdomen sprain, but thats just not it. Was running, playing tennis, working out in general and I simply wouldnt be able to do that with muscle sprain. I'm still waiting for some of the examinations and physical therapist appointments, but in the meantime I could use some help. So, my question is, could the illiopsoas syndrome be the reason of my ache?
Another excellent video. I felt relief while stretching. Thank you again Dr Jo!
hi dr jo, i subscribed long time ago, i have a question, i don't know i have external or internal snapping hip syndrome, i can't find a video to determine it, can i still do your exercises in this video? thanks
Tnq very much
Both my hips pop (internal where my leg meets my body) when I go from sitting to standing. The left one has suddenly got much worse and now I can’t click it, so can’t weight bear on that leg. Help! It’s sooo painful if I try to stand up straight. I need to pop it to get stability but it won’t do it anymore!
